A season ago, the Los Angeles Dodgers stunned the baseball world with a pair of blockbuster trades that brought a total of four former All-Stars to the team.

First, the Dodgers acquired Hanley Ramirez from the Miami Marlins before the trade deadline. Then, in an August waiver deal with the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles traded for Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett.

Don't expect anything similar from the Dodgers, who have more modest targets this season, general manager Ned Colletti told the Los Angeles Times.

The team isn't in the market for starting pitching after acquiring Ricky Nolasco from the Marlins. And Colletti says he doesn't see any impact second or third basemen being available.

"When I call around teams, there's not a lot of names of position players being discussed," he told the newspaper. "I'm not sure if there's a market out there on the sell side."

But things could change, he said.

"You're always one injury away from having a different need than you have at the moment," Colletti said.

After a slow start, the Dodgers have become one of baseball's hottest teams and find themselves smack in the middle of the National League West race.
